They are pooping fine I've cleaned all the pasty butts. I can raise the lamp up.

That's your problem, too hot. Nowhere for them to cool down. Get rid of the lamp.I've got an electric brooder on one side and a heat lamp on the other. Lamp area is 96. Chick starter and water with save a chic in it. 10 seem to be fine but I have 3 more that are not looking good
Chicks have to have a cool down area----you can not heat the whole brooder----they will die from the heat
I took the lamp down. I put it up because some would not go under the electric hen. They are in opposite corners and the water and food are In 2 corners on the opposite end. It is a big brooder.
The brooder is 5ftx4ft. Everything was cleaned except for the wood I made it out of.
